The Year 2016 is gradually coming to an end. We thank Almighty God for His countless blessings showered on us and for giving us the opportunity to assert the values of truth, justice and loyalty that sustains education in our Institution. It is gratifying to note that due to the co-operation and sharing of ideas on the part of Parents, Guardians /Staff/ Management, a closer link between the school and the home has become evident. We do hope that this positive process continues in the New Year -2017.

This year 2016 has been full of activities – both inter-school, intra-school, the National and state levels and the interest taken by the teachers and students was amply visible.

1. Unit Tests: The second unit Tests have already commenced from the 6thDecember-2016 and the results will be declared on the following parent teacher meeting day.

Punctuality : Many students especially those who commute to school by bicycles, vans, auto-rickshaws, cycle rickshaws arranged by you parentsand on foot-make it a practice of coming late every morning after the commencement of the morning assembly.

Therefore parents/guardians, kindly take necessary steps to ensure that your ward/s reach school in time for the morning assembly or such student/s will be sent back home.

Further more to prevent students from wandering and wasting their time on the road after dismissal, insist that the conveyances arranged by you come exactly on time to take them back home.

i) For school uniforms from Agarwal Fancy Stores, New Market, Patna or from the counter in the school camp

ii) For Sport Uniforms from Gyan Ganga stores in Patna.

6. Christmas: The Joyous season of Christmas has caught up with us once more to commemorate the Birth of Jesus Christ which took place more than two thousand years ago. The significance of Christmas cannot end with mere external celebrations. Christmas will be truly meaningful and relevant if we can spread the message that Jesus gave us during His Ministry, that is, to love one another, especially the poor the sick, the needy and the down trodden.

May this Joy and Peace of Christmas remain with you and your families throughout this year and the New Year 2017.
